Some Thoughts and Experiences from My Trip to Geneva

By Yoko Kaneko from Japan

(Clearwisdom.net) My trip to Geneva was the first time I joined overseas practitioners to clarify the truth. I learned a lot, and would like to share my experiences with everyone.

During the meeting at the United Nations, there were practitioners from several countries clarifying the truth to delegates from different countries. We cooperated with each other very well, and formed a pure and harmonious field. I felt like a drop of water merging into the ocean and dissolving into a single body of Dafa practitioners. I do what Dafa needs me to do, instead of doing what I wish to do. There wasn't "I," there was only the state of selflessness.

There was a fierce struggle between the righteous and the evil, and Dafa disciples' compassion displayed a vivid contrast to the evil. All the practitioners had righteous thoughts and righteous actions while clarifying the truth and saving people rationally, harmoniously, and nobly. We did not give the evil elements any excuses to take advantage of us, and we fully displayed the state of Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples. The evil used all kinds of mean tricks to cause damage, including interference with our speeches at the meetings.

The change in the cosmic climate was obvious here too. People enjoyed listening to us; they are yearning for the truth. A delegate from an African country suggested that we host a party, and offered to invite all the delegates from African countries. There were also delegates who invited us to their countries to clarify the truth.

Through clarifying the truth and sharing with other practitioners, I have enlightened to many things. I have also seen the distance between me and other practitioners, and have deepened my understanding of how I can catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification.

I would like to talk about a few things that happened to me.

After making sincere efforts, we had an opportunity to speak in a meeting of the United Nations. We decided that I would give a 3-minute speech in English. In the past, I was only able to read a few simple English words. I went over my speech again and again. It always took me 5 minutes to finish the 3-minute speech. Then practitioner Zhao Ming started teaching me the English speech word by word, and sentence by sentence. I still could not read it well, and I started to feel anxious. Zhao Ming was in a very patient, stable state as he helped me. Gradually I calmed down, and it occurred to me that I would indeed be able to read the speech well, and that Master would help me for sure. When it was my turn to give the speech, I sat in front of the microphone and felt that everything surrounding me became still. As I started to read the speech, the words naturally came out of my mouth one by one. I read faster and more fluently as I went on. When I finished the speech, I looked at my watch to see it had taken me only two and one-half minutes.

On my way back to Japan from Geneva, I changed flights in Copenhagen. The airplane landed not long after it took off from the Copenhagen airport. It turned out that there was some problem with the engine. People felt lucky. Had the problem occurred in the middle of the flight, the consequences would have been disastrous. I knew that Master protected me, and saved more than 200 passengers in the airplane.

I felt Master's immense compassion saving us again. When I do well, Master encourages me. When I have difficulties, Master helps me. When I am lost, Master enlightens me. And when I am in danger, Master protects me. I also know that it is critical that we maintain our xinxing, (mind or heart nature, moral character) not let anyone or anything upset us, and keep a pure mind at all times. Only when our minds are pure can we have righteous thoughts, righteous actions, and do well in Fa-rectification.
